Mike Fisher

Mike Fisher is an award-winning newspaper journalist, the author of two regional best-selling books (with forwards written by Jerry Jones and Troy Aikman), a popular public speaker and a radio-and-TV personality with 20 years of experience in Dallas covering the Dallas Mavericks and the NBA and the Dallas Cowboys and the NFL.

The Cowboys won’t be pursuing a trade for Vikings superstar Adrian Peterson, citing among the reasons the team’s more disciplined approach to spending at the running back position and the running back depth in the upcoming NFL Draft.

The deal completes three days of negotiations with the free agent, who was not retained in Carolina following his involvement in a domestic-violence case that could still cause him to miss some games during a 2015 season suspension.
